The guy receptionist was very welcoming! He’s very appropriate for the job. We were greeted with smiles and his instructions were good. The hostel was ok. You get what you pay for. It was clean. The food at the bar was decent. It was also the perfect location for hikers of the Snowdonia mountain. I would go there again for short stay.

Great spot, the food was nice and facilities clean. The parking is the only issue I faced, quite expensive to park across the road, I’d recommend using the park and ride down near llanberis for a cheaper option.
